Go around a limitation of the lua language spec. The return value
of this method guaranteed `ipairs()` correctness.
Please note that both the official Lua and Luajit implementation
provide a sparse table compatible `ipairs()` and __len implementation
by default.
It is an internal API and is used by `gears.shape`, `gears.pattern`
and `gears.composition` only.
This commit also add `:rotate_at` and `:copy` methods.
It is necessary to have it beforehand when creating layout objects
for unselected layouts.
In the current layout system, there is no layout object, but to allow
tabs and dynamic tagging features like ion3, layouts cannot be stateless.
Before, it was the caller job to make sure the client wasn't floating.
This limitation is unecessary. awful.client.idx now return nil instead
of an error. awful.rules setting the master width factor are now
foolproof.
This code is imported from Elv13 config and make it very easy
to create shaped objects.
If accepted upstream, other shapes, such as arrow and powerline
will also be added. This commit introsuce the 2 most common
shapes, rounded rectangle and rounded bar.
This allow the most basic kind of stateful layouts to be created.
It is now possible to have layout instances instead of global
stateless layout arrange functions.
This allow layout "arrange" to be called less often and react on
the cause of the change itself rather than it's consequences
(usually, the "focus" signal).
Previously, the layout were re-arranged everytime the focus changed.
Now, with "raised" and "lowered", it require less "arrange".
"swapped" allow smarted layouts. Currently, swapped cause a full
re-arrange. It re-read the "index" list from scratch and create
a "new" layout. With "swapped", incremental layout changes are
possible.

gears.surface now returns a fallback image surface that is good enough for what
this code tries to do here.

A nil-value is no longer simply passed through, so this has to do some "special
things" to work properly.

Before this, calling one of the loading functions with a nil argument always
made it return the default 0x0 surface. With this change, the passed-in default
value is now properly applied.

Instead of throwing a Lua error, the code now just prints an error message to
stderr on invalid markup. For callers which want to handle this case specially,
we add :set_markup_silently() which returns error messages.

Oh hey, Pango exports an API that allows to query for named colors based on the
famous rgb.txt! Let's use that!

This adds support to gears.color.parse_color to parse things like "#fff" (one
character per color component, without alpha) and "#ffff0000ffff0000" (four
characters per component, with alpha).
This makes sense on its own, but should also help with
https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/585.

*WARNING* This introduce a minor API break as awful.tag.setscreen
arguments are now swapped for consistency
This allow to introduce logic for each properties and improve
awful.tag.add and execute logic when setting properties.
The code here doesn't always work, so it's best to just don't mess with
awesome.version, but return it directly.

Since some commits, surface.load_uncached() handles errors itself and thus we
don't have to print an error message here any more.

Previously, a Lua error was thrown when loading a file failed. Most callers are
not prepared for this and the result is less than optimal.
This commit makes the functions print the errors and return nil instead. For
callers that want to handle errors themselves, "_silent" variants of the
functions are introduced which just return errors to the caller.

Having many arguments can easily get confusing and hard to understand. This
commit uses a table instead so that we have names that identify what each
callback does.

This adds functions for getting directories according to the XDG base dir
specification. This might be useful in general.
This also adds a function for getting the cache dir, because I like an explicit
function call more than something which "switches" based on a string argument.
Better error messages if you mis-type something. :-)
Finally, this adds a function for getting the directory containing the rc.lua
file. Sadly, awful.util.getdir("config") did not actually do that. See #218.

Without this fix `wibox.widget.textbox` ignores current theme font
setting and resets it to the initial one.
It becomes handy when the initial theme is tweaked during runtime, ie.
in `rc.lua`. Other AwesomeWM components like `awful` (taglist,
tasklist, menu) are aware and do respect the actual theme settings.

Lua will remove objects as values from a weak table before these objects are
finalized, but as values only in the next garbage collection cycle after the
object was finalized. Up to now, gears.object uses a table with weak keys so
that :disconnect_signal() works. This means that a signal can still call methods
which were already considered garbage by the garbage collector and thus can use
userdata from the C side which was already finalized. Crashes and other bugs
result.
This commit changes the code so that the function is also a value in the weak
table. Thus, the GC will remove the entry before the object is finalized.
Special magic is needed for Lua 5.1, because there only userdata has the
behavior that we want while we have a function. We do some magic with function
environments to make this work...

This adds new functions to all widgets that allow to force a specific
width/height. These values override the result from :fit().

When emitting layout_changed, the widget is relayouted. If this doesn't actually
change anything, nothing will be redrawn. Thus, this also emits redraw_needed to
force redraws.
This fixes a race condition with some weird tray icons. A new tray icon is
created and the systray is updated. Then this new icon is destroyed immediately
again and at the same time another icon is created. Then, the systray isn't
updated since the number of icons (=the layout) did not actually change.
However, it needs to be updated and so we ended up with broken/missing icons.

This is a weak table whose entries might be removed by the garbage collector.
I'm not sure if this will every cause problems, but it's better to be prepared
for tables having "nil holes" (which would mean ipairs ignores some entries).
